hi i try today to use the ip loadbalancing feature of carp.
basiclly there ist an working carp cluster with 5 carp interfaces on 2 boxes. on host a: hostname.carp0 inet 10.100.0.254 255.255.252.0 10.100.3.255 \ vhid 25 pass office2world group lan_if hostname.carp1 inet 10.10.223.15 255.255.255.0 10.10.223.255 \ vhid 15 pass office2world group wan_if hostname.carp2 inet 10.90.1.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 vhid 90 pass manage2world group management_if hostname.carp3 inet 10.90.5.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \ carpdev em4 vhid 91 pass manage2world group management_if hostname carp4 inet 10.11.223.15 255.255.255.0 10.11.223.255 \ carpdev em5 vhid 92 pass manage2world group an10-predmz the devices em4 and em5 have are no ip . on host b: hostname.carp0 inet 10.100.0.254 255.255.252.0 10.100.3.255 \ group lan_if \ pass office2world \ vhid 25 \ advskew 100 hostname.carp1 inet 10.10.223.15 255.255.255.0 10.10.223.255 \ group wan_if \ vhid 15 \ advskew 100 \ pass office2world hostname.carp2 inet 10.90.1.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \ group management_if \ vhid 90 \ advskew 100 \ pass manage2world hostname.carp3 inet 10.90.5.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \ group management_if \ carpdev em4 \ vhid 91 \ advskew 100 \ pass manage2world hostname.carp4 inet 10.11.223.15 255.255.255.0 10.11.223.255 \ group an10-predmz \ vhid 92 \ pass manage2world \ advskew 100 \ carpdev em5 now i try to what the document says i add the line on host a carpnodes 15:0,15:100 balancing ip host b carpnodes 15:100,15:0 balancing ip id did this for all vhid's then i try to load the setup i got the error "ifconfig: SIOCSVH: Invalid argument" if i delete the part after the , der error is gone but it kills my network. what did i wrong ? what i miss understud the man page ? holger
